Important Information

■Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

●BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

●If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.

●Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

●Do not touch the surface.

●Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

●If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the Unit may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

●Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.

●Request the nearest service centre approved by SHARP to clean the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

●Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

–Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

–In a steamy or very humid room.

–When the Unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

●It becomes difficult for the Unit to read the signals on the disc and prevents the Unit from operating properly.

To remove condensation:

●Take out the disc and leave the Unit with the power off until the condensation disappears. Using the Unit when there is condensation may cause malfunction.
